Mageia's Squee

My fannish blog, and I'm mostly fannish about anime, Ace Attorney, Love Live!, Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), The West Wing, and yuri. And cats. Fics can be found at https://archiveofourown.org/users/Mabis/works

I’ve been waiting all year to post this.

I'm just going to assume this is a Twelfth Night reference and squeal in delight accordingly. ♥

Mutual aid request for chronically ill trans guy

Hello internet! I have a friend, Ash, who has limited social media presence (mainly bluesky). I'm sharing this here on his behalf. Followers may remember the last time I posted something like this. I'm very sorry to have to do this again, but times are hard and my friend was hospitalized a few months back and is still paying down debt from that.

Ash recently got something of an answer to his medical problems, along with a doctor strongly urging him not to work until he can get one of two major surgeries done. With any luck, the removal of chronically inflamed lymph nodes (since at least 2023, possibly earlier) will help him recover enough to go back to work and regain some of the energy he had been lacking for years. This surgery will require being out of work for another few weeks to recover; he will not be able to resume work until October. As such, he will need help to handle debt. Donations welcome at both ko-fi (link here) and cashapp ($ashraid). Any amount is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for reading! Here's a picture of his support cat.

Bad news: the hospital that will be performing his surgery got back to him with a $800 estimate on top of the $500 he needs to pay his most critical bills. Please help. Ash makes short-sighted decisions like contacting his extremely toxic, abusive family when panicking, and I don't want him to have to contact them anymore. They just take any request for help as an excuse to lord it over him and minimize him and his needs.

[ajora]

Good news: the surgery is done and he's recovering in my spare bedroom. But he still needs to pay that $800 copay, on top of that $500 he still owes for past medical expenses. So I'm reblogging again in hopes that he gets funding enough to pay his bills, and maybe a bit more because we have very different diets, needs, and we've both been trying to accommodate both his lack of current income and my own limited funds.

Please help. Thanks.

Amy Gardner would be a thousand times better if she was a lesbian and trying to get into Donna's pants.

now yall know what time it is

Fuck it, TWW headcanons that will probably never make it into my fic universe:

-Sam actually does go down to the California 47th to tell Will to drop the campaign, but Josh goes with him and refuses to let Sam run. (At this point Josh is secretly planning Sam's whole ascension to the WH, and running now is NOT part of the plan.)

-Hoynes doesn't get caught cheating, remains VP, and eventually becomes President. It all comes out during his second term, though.

-Let CJ have some fun with Simon Donovan before he gets killed off, FFS.

-Toby actually becomes CoS after Leo has a heart attack, and Sam gets promoted to Director of Communications. Sam brings in Will as his deputy, and is absolutely loving the fact he can just tell Will to deal with whatever he doesn't want to deal with. Jed and Toby have even more epic drama a la "17 People and "The Two Bartlets." Josh whines about not being promoted.

-Toby never leaks anything.

-The kidnapping of Zoe Bartlet fails because that's just too stupid.

...I have so much more.

I will give one zillion internet dollars for the version of The West Wing where Toby becomes Chief of Staff instead of CJ.

Requesting help for disabled trans friend

Hello internet, my friend Ash needs some help.

He doesn’t have a social media presence, so I am writing on his behalf. Two years ago, I helped Ash move out of an abusive home situation. Shortly after, he developed a chronic illness that required numerous medical visits for diagnosis and treatment. Because his insurance will no longer provide for co-pay and fund more rigorous tests, this has put him into thousands of dollars of medical debt, on top of the other debt it required for him to move here. We both live in an extremely rural area, necessitating weekly travel for more than 4 hours just to get groceries.

Because of his autoimmune disease, Ash is unable to get a second job to help him out of his debt. Nor can he focus on his hobbies, writing and crafting plush animals. His current job is already exacerbating his symptoms and he's sick daily. I am unable to support him financially, and he has no family who can help him either. His family is extremely abusive, so relying on them is not an option. Right now Ash is struggling to afford food and gas, and is unable to pay off his medical debt. I know that there is a lot of terrible crap going on in the world and that this call for aid is poorly timed, but anything helps. If you cannot donate, please consider at least sharing this post. He would very much appreciate it.

Here's his ko-fi link. Again, anything helps.

P.S. Here's Baby, Ash's very important support cat.

Thanks again!

Fic bit that doesn't have a home, may be part of a bigger fic someday:

Josh inwardly sighed as he put on his best charming smile and walked onto the stage. This. This is what he hated most. Might as well be the candidate with all smiling and hand shaking he had to do. But he had to admit, it was as all worth it in the end.

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming here tonight. Without further ado, let me introduce our featured speaker for this event, the President of the United States and my husband, Sam Seaborn-Lyman!”

Happy 20th FMA Day, here's a scan of my favorite official artwork!

I'm not entirely sure if I should make this into a whole fic or use it for a five times fic. Either way, it's one of the first things I thought of when I started up First Gentleman from Hell.

“You got bullied by the White House Social Secretary? What did she do, put a calligraphy pen to your throat?” Sam asked, giving Josh an incredulous look.

“Yes, and no, she didn’t physically threaten me. She did tear into me for not respecting the social status of the White House, and for not doing my job as White House host,” Josh replied with some annoyance.

They were walking towards the Residence, Josh telling Sam about a visit he had earlier that day from the Social Secretary.

“Tell her you have better things to do then picking out silverware.”

“I tried! Then she threatened to use paper plates and plastic forks for our state dinner this week.”

Sam let out a sigh. “So now you have to spend a morning getting everything ready.”

“Morning, all day, who knows. You realize I have to pick out flowers? I don’t know anything about flowers.”

“I’m sure they’ll just give you some options you have to chose from.”

“I hope so, otherwise this has disaster written all over it.”
